| Not a lot of experience with Bristlenose but have 5 Peppermint on their way this week to help clean my Discus tank. Hoping to raise them to a breeding size and let nature take it's course. Figured that with 5 im guaranteed at least a couple of females any advice would be most appreciated | |

| Hey mate and once they get to breeding size make sure you swap out your females for another bloodline | |

| Thanks for the welcome Doug is it advisable to have more females than males if so wouldn't replacing the male bloodlines be more wiser | |

| 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. Guess it depends on what you have at hand at the time. I like to swap females because if i can find two different females i now have three different bloodlines and I find the females easier to tell apart than the males for some reason | |

 Don't expect too much. They will eat leftover food and some types of algies. But clean tank is the result of proper water changes and light settings. | |
